Championship round-up: Jimmy Dunne heads late winner for QPR

Dundalk's Jimmy Dunne scored an 89th-minute winner as QPR came from behind to beat Preston 2-1 and extend their unbeaten run in the Championship to seven matches.

Mason Burstow's 80th-minute strike earned new boss Selles his maiden Tigers victory, after Harry Darling’s fine header cancelled out Joao Pedro’s deflected opener for the hosts.
